I can see what im getting for Christmas next year.



Quad core Bloomfield, 12gb DDR3 RAM in tri channel and 4 graphics card.

Bloomfield seems to be on an entirely different socket altogether... Probably gonna be stupidly expensive. Lynnfield with hyperthreading's where it's at. Havendale just looks like an extreme budget solution judging by the way they assume you're gonna use its integrated graphics.

Quad core is the future!

Edit, yeah, I'm sticking with my E2140 'till Lynnfield hits the shelves at a sub-£120 price point...

Indeed.


Does look like Intel may try and sort out the gamers from the normal rabble.


i.e. because Lynnfield is on a different socket motherboard to the high end Bloomfield then the LGA1160 motherboards may not be higher suited to overclocking etc... but only time will tell.


I will proolu be getting Bloomfield though.
